THE GROUNDHOGS AGREE: SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER

Both Punxsutawney Phil and Western Maryland Murray concur: there will be six more weeks of winter. In Cumberland, Mayor Ray Morriss read a proclamation, honoring Murray and his handler Bob Candy from the Tri-State Zoological Park. Murray hasn’t been wrong yet in his 14 years of prognostications. City Council member Eugene Frazier read a poem he had written for the occasion and presented during last year’s festivities.
